Operating Characteristics - GE IJS51A Instructions Manual

The IJS is not adaptable to applications involving continuous loading of the contact
circuit, since contact welding may result even with contact loadings that are low in

designed to energize the IJS coils when synchronism is to be checked, and to permit
the IJS contacts to be the last to complete a closing circuit that is promptly
bypassed or interrupted.
Cross feed from the energized side to the de-energized side is very low, because the
operating principle of the relay requires the two windings on the operating magnet
to be additive while those on the restraining magnet are subtractive,
therefore, the coupling from the bus side to the line side coil on the operating
magnet is practically cancelled by the reverse polarity of the corresponding
coupling between the coils on the restraining magnet.
The operating coils, mounted on the left-hand side, produce a torque tending to
close the relay contacts.

restraint coils is proportional to the vector difference of the voltages.
operating torque is maximum when the systems are in synchronism and is 0 when they
are in phase opposition; the reverse is true of the restraining torque.
The closing angle of the relay is defined as the maximum phase displacement of the
two voltages at which the relay wi

Moving it toward the disk shaft decreases the time delay, while moving it away from
